Did he really say "57-state strategy?" If so, Ellison is telling us in no uncertain terms that he intends to use Islam to pressure America into submission to the DNC's vile objectives--which explains Ellison's rise to power within the DNC, inasmuch as the only thing that Ellison has ever had on his political resume is his conversion to a radically un-American brand of Islam. The Global Socialists have long been aligned with Islam against the U.S., and it appears that they really like Black Muslims.
The DNC is almost bankrupt, politically speaking, but by sort of coming out of the closet in this regard of uncanny zeal for the Religion of Peace, they still think they can ruin our Republic. We'd better not sell them short in this regard. Today's churchgoers, especially those who are ardently confident Trump supporters, should read The Harbinger, by Jonathan Cahn.
Ellison's remark is also confirming that Obama's famous and utterly preposterous "slip of the tongue" about "campaigning in 57 states" was no slip, just as zillions of Americans figured out in 2008. (Heck, I don't know any credible Christian who believes that Obama is a Christian.)
